SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: BFIBL02 - Payment Medium: Messages

• Message number: 253

• Message text: Customizing changes have no effect on payment mediums already created

What causes this issue?

The changes that you made in Customizing for the level of detail of the
note to payee only affect those payments for which no payment medium
has been created.

How to fix this error?

For the changes to the level of detail and the note to payee to be
taken into account for payments for which payment media already exist,
you must initialize the payment run again. The respective payment
medium must also be reorganized.
Start the program <DS:REPN.RFPAYM_RESET>RFPAYM_RESET</>.
This deletes the files belonging to a payment run from DME
administration, thus making the creation of new files possible. These
files are organized into new payment groups according to the level of
detail.
